I worked with Cindy for 26 years before I retired at JD. She was a terrific colleague—smart and unflappable.   No matter how stressful things were she was always quick with a smile.  She was respected by everyone she worked with.  I am so sorry to hear of her passing.  RIP, Cindy.

I am so very heartbroken that I will be unable to  be  there to share and say goodbye to Cindy tomorrow.  She was such a a wonderful, caring person.  I wanted to be with those who loved her.  I fell this morning and broke my shoulder, I have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to schedule my surgery.  My love and condolences to all, especially for her boys who she loved so much.

I worked with Cindy at the Firm and have known her since 1997.  We visited each other often and stayed with each other several times while she lived in Columbus.  After much cajoling I finally made my trip to visit Cindy in Miami after I had retired.  It was so much fun and I got the full Miami tour guide experience.  And of course it included a Dolphins game! Picture proof included.  Reading about her love of music made me remember how she made me watch The Masked Singer. I had no clue what was going on and how she knew so many singers; it was impressive.  The one and only time I've watched the show.  My son lives in Denver as her son Kevin does.  Cindy was so sweet that she called up my son when she was in town and they all met up.  I was looking forward to planning a trip at the same time as her after her retirement so we could hang out with our sons together.  Her loss is just devastating and my heart of broken for Brian and Kevin.

I had the great honor and extreme pleasure of being Cindy's colleague at work. Cindy was a highly skilled and experienced technology professional who had the rare ability to make every interaction feel like a collaboration with a trusted friend. I cannot find the words to express how much I'll miss her warmth, humor, and professionalism. My deepest condolences to all those whose lives she has touched. She was simply the best.

We had a yearly get together (either at a Miami football game or at my house).  You are a wonderful person.  You will always be in everyone's memory.  God speed and rest in peace my friend.

Cindy and Marvin were among our first friends when we relocated to Columbus in the 80s. We met her entire family and swam in all their pools!  Our dogs tore up each other’s landscape, while we played cards on each other’s decks. Brian and Kevin were teammates to our sons in Soccer and Football.  Cindy even joined my BC tailgate when the Eagles invaded the shoe (pictured).  I have great memories of Cindy, and our profound sympathy goes out to Cindy’s entire family.

Early May 2010:  Cindy came to Paris (France) to help with the move of the Paris office. On this photo, she is setting up the computers and phones in a secretary's open space. 
It's been a real pleasure working with Cindy. Always smiling and joking.

Cindy loved life. She wanted to be attentive to all the needs of Brian and Kevin. She was also kind to acquaintances, family, friends, co-workers and young, aspiring women. 
She set the professional bar high for herself. For those fortunate to be on her team, she aspired knowledge, commitment and perseverance. She loved being a pilot office and provided leadership, toolboxes and whatever it took to be the best. 
While I was happy she could move where it was warm and sunny, I missed her as a co-worker and friend. We will deeply miss Cindy. My condolences.

I work in TSS at Jones Day and have spoken to Cindy various times over the years. What a wonderful and kind soul to have a conversation with whether it was IT related or just day-to-day life. 

You will be remembered always. Sincere and deepest condolences to the family.

Sincerely,
David Saum Jr.

I was heartbroken when I heard the news of Cindy's passing. I worked with her in TSS and would see her when she came to the Atlanta office. She was such a friendly, kind, helpful, generous and supportive leader. I will miss her deeply.

My sincere and deepest condolences to the family. Please know that you are in my prayers today and the days to come.

Sincerely,
Inez Campbell

I feel so blessed to have known Cindy.   She truly was wonderful and will be missed.    Peace be with her and her beloved boys.

I worked with Cindy. She was in the Jones Day Miami office but I would see her when she came to the Atlanta  office. Such a sweet and friendly person.

 I retired in December and I know it was her plan, as well. I was just heartbroken by this sad news. Condolences to her family.

Sincerely,
Becky Benton
